CITY BANNER REGULATIONS

 

            Reservations can be made for banner space across Main Street at City Hall by calling the Public Works/Engineering Division (530) 642-5250, ext. 400. There is a $25.00 fee for every week the banner is displayed.  A minimum of $25.00 will be prepaid for each banner displayed.  Checks made payable to City of Placerville.

 

                        Banners are displayed for one (1) week beginning on Monday morning (or Tuesday morning if Monday is a holiday). Reservations for events within the City limits are limited to six (6) months in advance.

 

Example:  If Monday of the week you want to reserve is July 1st, then the earliest reservation that can be made is January 1st at 8:00 a.m.  If January 1st is a holiday or weekend date, the earliest reservation will be taken at 8:00 a.m. on the day that City hall reopens.

 

·         Reservations for events outside the City limits are limited to two (2) months in advance (see example above).

 

·         Only non-profit organizations shall be allowed to display banners.

 

·         All banners are subject to a one (1)-week per year display limit over Main Street at City Hall.

 

·         No religious or political advertisements will be allowed on banners.

 

·         Birthday or anniversary banners will be allowed only when no other banners are scheduled.

 

·         The City assumes NO liability for lost, stolen or damaged banners.

 

·         Only City employees are to put up or remove banners.

 

                        Banners must have wind holes cut into the center face of the banner every four (4’) feet.  These wind holes are to be semi-circular in shape with a diameter of five (5”) inches (same as a two-pound coffee can).

 

                        Banners are to be exactly 26 inches in width with a maximum length of 30 feet.

 

                        Banners must have metal eyelets on the top and on the bottom every two (2’) feet.  The eyelets are to be one (1”) inch from the top and bottom edges. Shower curtain rings are to be provided by the applicant.  At least two (2) curtain rings per eyelet are required.

 

                        The banner must be delivered to City Hall and fees paid for by the first day on which the banner is reserved.  Failure to do so may result in the loss of the time slot to another applicant reservation.

 

                        Banners shall be picked up at City Hall no later than ten (10) days after they have been taken down (the City will NOT be liable for the banners after this time).

 

            No banners will be allowed for display on the City Parking Structure.
